_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...

This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.

Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

  • The ADL was formed to protect this monster. Keep that in mind should you ever consider donating.
  • The stories are always so sad especially when they involve children but they need to be told. Someone needs to be their voice. Thank you for what you do. Love all your videos.
  • What a sad and horrific story. Definitely aggravating to see how they handled the evidence too. She does have a nice memorial marker.
  • @rattlesnake3113
    Such a sad story. I'm glad that she has a historical plaque for her story.
  • @robinmartz9052
    Incredible story! People are brutal. If people lynched child predators now, there'd be death in the streets everywhere. The cemeteries in Georgia are just beautiful. I love the tiered look with the short walls.
  • Wow! Ron, you have been Blessed with the gift of story telling. That was a fantastic story. Sad in so many ways. Thanks again!
  • I just watched the 50 year old DNA recovery case. It makes me wonder...will crimes this old also become solvable eventually? I really feel that we will be experiencing technologies in the near future, that many of us have not even dreamt about. It is not about catching the criminal in these cases; it is about uncovering secrets that should never have been kept, and bringing justice to those forgotten & the wrongly punished.
  • Such a beautiful little girl so very sad couldn't imagine the pain and suffering she did.
  • @andybarratt0704
    Wow Ron. Poor Mary. After what she had to endure at such a young age and then to have her life taken away from her by such a tragic and evil way. Its also so tragic that this Alonso did not come forward with this information earlier but like you said Ron he had his reasons. He had been threatened by Conelley and the clan were still around. Very difficult. So easy to criticise isn't it. It shows you how bad policing was back then. Not to question more people. So many mistakes. With modern techniques like we have now there is a much better chance of getting a conviction. What a beautiful headstone. Lovely words. May she be at peace with her family now. God bless. Thanks again for what you do Ron in bringing us these stories. Stay safe. Take care.

    I grew up in Marietta and even in the 1960's and 70's people still talked about it
  • I am IN together with the whole Gang ! Thank you Mr Ron for your almost every day interesting history videos ! You're absolutely a good narrator ! Greetings from Charlotte NC !
  • @dannyp1975
    The amount of research you put into your videos is absolutely amazing!! The way you remember these innocent victims of horrendous crimes is humbling. I love you videos and so does my 12 year old nephew! Subscribers and supporters for life 😎
  • I have always been fascinated by cemeteries and wanted to know about the life in the dash between the dates. I thought maybe I was a little off, but now I know I am definitely not alone. Thank you for bringing these stories to us.
  • @carolk5770
    What an interesting, yet horrifying story. That poor sweet little girl. God bless her & May she Rest In Peace forever.
  • @myrahutchins376
    I’m from this part of Georgia, and my mother was fascinated by Mary’s tragic death. She told me the story over and over as I was just as fascinated. The hard part to reconcile is that we’ll never know the truth. Mary and her murderer took those details to their deaths. I was hoping when you got to the end that you had finally got some justification for what happened to Little Mary Phagan. That’s how my mother always started the story, “Little Mary Phagan.”
  • Thank you for other interesting stories. Stay safe love, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
  • I love wandering in old cemeteries and I love the work you do! Thank you.

    She was a pretty child that didn't deserve this. May she rest in peace.
